September 10, ‘19 & ‘20 post on FB

Not many people know that I have been suicidal TWICE in my life. In the winter of 2001, & in August of 2014.

I’m sharing this so that those who know me can always know that there IS a way out of the dark. I’m living proof.

Please seek help. There are thousands of therapists who can help you online RIGHT now, so you don’t even have to leave your house. There are hotlines you can call RIGHT now. Just google it.

Sometimes we loose who we are because we became what everyone needed us to be. Stop & claim yourself. Stop & ask yourself what YOU actually believe is important in life. What makes a person valuable in YOUR mind? Now focus on finding those things in yourself.

You have power. You have strength. It might be buried, but you CAN find it. Keep trying. IT’S WORTH IT. You might have to block out the opinions of people who don’t value the same things as you. You might have to protect yourself from the words & actions of people who don’t have it together yet. They are not the enemy. The enemy comes in the form of the words in your head. Change the message. You’re the one with that power. Grab it! I BELIEVE IN YOU & I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A WONDERFUL LIFE OUT HERE FOR YOU! & I’ll believe it for you until you can believe it for yourself. I love YOU.
